About

About

St. Francis Xavier Catholic School System is a co-educational, fully accredited Catholic school community comprised of nearly 1,500 students serving grades PreK through 12, including St. Francis Xavier High School, St. Francis Xavier Middle School, and St. Francis Xavier Elementary School at two locations. With new, state-of-the-art facilities, small class sizes and a curriculum consistent with current trends, we offer the highest quality faith-based education while stressing the importance of partnering awareness with moral and social responsibility.

Schools

Xavier Catholic Schools strive to provide the very best Catholic education possible to the nearly 1500 students we serve preK3- 12th grade. Preparing students to be the future leaders in our community and in our Church is our highest priority. Our goal is to assist students in becoming well-educated Catholic Christian adults who have heaven as their goal. We thank all of the people who support us in our mission. It would not be possible to provide a quality Catholic education without the support of thousands who give of their time, talent and treasure.

Admissions

At St. Francis Xavier Catholic School System we are committed to academic excellence rooted in strong faith and value formation. We strive to help students develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enable them to be successful citizens in the 21st century. Our staff is dedicated to helping each child succeed.

Faith

We are guided by a strong focus on teaching and learning that empowers students spiritually, academically and emotionally to face the future with wisdom, confidence, endurance and faith. Through religious education focused on Catholic teaching, leadership training, faith integration and service-learning, Xavier Catholic Schools produces graduates willing and able to make a difference for Christ. By providing opportunities to be involved in service projects and campus ministry, we also help develop students' sense of commitment to others in the community.

Fine Arts

Participating in Fine Arts at Xavier Catholic Schools inspires students to a lifelong involvement in and appreciation of the arts. The Fine Arts courses offered throughout their education through various experiences fosters creativity and self-expression.

Athletics

Athletic activities are an integral part of our educational curriculum because they provide experiences that are difficult to duplicate in other school activities. Athletic participation provides unique opportunities for students to promote their mental, physical, social, spiritual, and emotional development. The focus of our athletic teams is to develop character in experiences that embody spirituality, togetherness, achievement, and respect.

Goals for our student athletes are: to develop leadership skills and responsibility; to grow in team commitment and school loyalty; to demonstrate and encourage sportsmanship and team spirit; to treat others respectfully; to deal positively with success and adversity; and to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Alumni

Alumni help define our alma mater and serve as its strongest legacy. Alumni are invited to stay connected to Xavier through special events, class reunions, providing alumni updates and catching up with other alumni and teachers at activities throughout the System!
